Thanks mrsd,

I have to have an operation on my lower lumbar where they are going to put in a form of scaffolding to support the upper part of my body.


I also have a Tarlov Cyst in my sacral joint and I am in pain there as well but my Neuro says that it is ok and not causing me any harm or pain?

I am on the following meds.....

Durogesic DTrans Patches 25 mg every 72 hours (3 days)
Palixia 200 mg twice a day
Oxynorm 5mg three times a day
Baclofen 10 mg three times a day
Lyrica 50mg three times a day
and 2 Paracetamol tabs 4 times times a day (as they are supposed to give a kick to the Palexia)

But I am amazed the relief of pain since I went on the steriods and now I am dreading coming off them in a few days as this horrible pain will be back in full force.
